a. 18
b. 12
c. 22
d. 25

  C.  22

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you ...

  missed = 24.6% × 90

  = 0.246 × 90 = 22.14

The best estimate among the answers given is 22, choice C.

Comment on the problem statement

The percentage given is supposedly computed from the number of shots attempted and missed this season. The ratio 22/90 would give a percentage rounded to 24.4%, not 24.6%.

24.4% of 90 is 21.96, closer to 22.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
